We know he can pigdog having grown up not far from Mundaka but his performance over there was pretty ridiculous. Watch his heat against Kelly on the Billabong Pro website. On his road to the semi's he beat Dane, Kelly, Damo Hobgood and Tommy Whits. Aritz rode Chilli Surfboards on his way to his best ever World Tour result. Chilli would like to say Felicitaciones y gracias a Aritz y Pukas! Buena Suerte for the rest of 2009:)

GORKIN & BESCHEN FLARE ON CHILLI SURFBOARDS

Posted on: Monday, February 23, 2009

Ever heard of Aaron "Gorkin" Cormican? He's a fisherman from Florida that rides for …Lost [the good people that distribute Chilli Surfboards in the States]. Aside from the whole killing fish thing Gorkin also does some of the finest airs you'll ever see, he's even got his own freaky move called the Gorkin Flip. Former World Number 2 Shane Beschen also pays his rent with …Lost contract dollars. Recently the boys dropped by the …Lost office and picked up some Chilli's to play around on in Hawaii. The footage above suggests they enjoyed em.

Below we tracked down some old Gorkin footage including that marvellous flip that takes place around the 1.31 minute mark. Mental!!!

THE STORY OF MIGUEL, THE GIANT KILLER

Posted on: Tuesday, January 27, 2009

Over in his home country of Brazil, Chilli team rider, Miguel Pupo, can't walk down the road to check the surf without four bodyguards. The paparazzi are just too intense. In Australia though, the young goofyfooter can dance about the streets throwing shakkas to passers by without being recognised. It's peaceful here and he likes it. However, on the Australia Day long weekend just gone Miguel exposed himself, after destroying many big names on his way to placing an incredible second behind Owen Wright in the Hurley Burleigh Pro Junior [riding a Chilli FibreFlex]. News of the big result traveled back to Brazil overnight and media outlets there quickly assigned Aussie photogs to trail the poor kids every move. It's been a lovely and competitively successful trip for the young Brazilian but it's time to split to where he kind find a little solace. Congrats, Miguel, and good luck.
